At Derbyshire Cricket Foundation (DCF) we believe that everyone should be able to say “cricket is a game for me”, and we are committed to ensuring that cricket is accessible, safe, and welcoming to all those participating, whether they be players, spectators, volunteers, officials, coaches or those working on behalf of the DCF. We recognise that cost can be a barrier to accessing cricket and we are determined to remove that barrier to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy the great game.
We are proud to introduce the DCF Access to Cricket Grant. Grants will be awarded to enable people to participate in playing the game or engaging in cricket education programmes.

What can the grant be used for?
